I was planning to do this, so I got the source from this post by DeHackEd. And... Well, it looks like that version doesn't have these bugs.
I'd like to know if anyone else can confirm this. Here's the version I compiled for Windows:
http://popibot.com.ar/fceu.zip(Note: I changed the version number to 0.98.17 to avoid confusion)
I was trying to do all this so I could be able to encode my submission, because the movie file desyncs with anything but 0.98.16, and to my surprise, DeHackEd's version records avi files without issues (no black screens) and doesn't desync.
EDIT: Today I got the "official" source from here, and it doesn't have these bugs neither... I guess no one has the real "Apr 21 2006" build source. I don't know why we use that version, anyway...

I use this frontend when I want to play something in my GoodMerged sets: QuickPlay. Here's a screenshot with my setup, but you can configure it in almost any way you want:

Then, you also have UnGoodMerge, which does this:

I didn't know it was so easy... I achieved what I wanted in a few seconds. :D
This is for Chrono Trigger; it pauses the emulator everytime a box of dialogue is full:
while true do
if memory.readbyte(0x7e0129) == 7 then snes9x.pause() end
snes9x.frameadvance()
end
I bet this could be useful for inichi too, if he modified it to press A instead of pausing it.
Anyway, thanks DeHackEd for this amazing thing! I can finally enjoy some RPG runs. :P
That sounds great! Can't wait for it.

Pardon my ignorance (and my horrible english), but can this thing pause RPG TASes everytime a box of dialogue is completed, until the watcher unpauses, and then go on with the rest of the movie? That would make them a bit more entertaining, for they're terribly boring right now.
By the way, I haven't looked very much into this program because I'm more a Genesis and NES guy, but it seems really useful. I hope you can add something like this to FCEU or Gens whenever you have time.

Thanks for voting, guys.
Yeah, seriously... I know what you mean...
They went from this:

By the way, I forgot to thank Dark Fulgore for his run, so I edited my original submission.

You can read more about this here.
I've personally been working on a NES Mickey Mouse 3 - Yume Fuusen TAS for 3 months now. I'm on the final stage right now. But, I only work for a very few hours every day...

I hated this game as a kid for being so hard, so I was planning to do a TAS of it myself... I'm glad I decided for NES Mickey Mouse III first, and never really started this run.
It looks like you did a perfect job. I'd give it a big Yes if I could.

@Mr. Kelly R. Flewin
Thanks for the information! I didn't know there was some kind of WR for this game. I just tried to make a perfect run using the RAM values; I guess I didn't watch hard enough in the Overboard event.
@both
Thank you for watching it and for being honest. I will cancel this and try to TAS a better game...

There's also this program called GBA Tool Advance, which has a "Fix Overdump" tool.
With it you can turn your "Lady Sia (U) (M6) (o1).gba" rom into a working "Lady Sia (U) (M6) [!].gba" rom in a few seconds.

Heh, that was quick.
Pekopon, you should use GoodGBA... I found the rom you have is actually "Lady Sia (U) (M6) [o1]".
It looks like a great game to TAS, I hope you keep working on it.
EDIT: damn... You shouldn't be allowed to delete your own posts... I wasted like ten minutes writing a response to your deleted question. :P (Yes, my english is really poor...)

You should try these settings.
But you'd better trying pSX emulator; it's a lot better and it doesn't require any kind of plugin or special configuration.
